#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal

Wolff –Chaikoff effect large doses of iodide act directly on the thyroid to produce a mild and transient inhibition of organic binding of iodide and hence of hormone synthesis.

Thyroid stimulating hormone induces both NIS expression and the retention of NIS in the basolateral membrane.

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal

Iodide is transported out of the thyroid cells across the apical membrane into the follicle by a chloride-iodide ion counter- transporter molecule called pendrin.

Thyroglobulin is a glycoprotein contains 123 tyrosine residues, but only 4–8 of these are normally incorporated into thyroid hormones.

When the peroxidase system is blocked or when it is hereditarily absent from the cells, the rate of formation of thyroid hormones falls to zero
